Chapter 284: Old Man Longquan
Although he was a little sad when he recalled his parents, Lu informed that from the day he stepped into the cultivation realm, it meant that he had embarked on a road far from mortal life, this road was bumpy and tortuous, extremely difficult, and he was not even allowed to spare too much time to take care of his family, there was no way, this was his life, the way of cultivation was to fight with fate, it was the process of earning his life, and he had no way to change all this.
Fortunately, Nanyun reminded himself in time, did not make him show too much sadness, adjusted his emotions, and Lu Tong followed the two to Longquan Square, the core of the Dragon God Festival.
"Look, look, big brother, the mortal sacrifice to the dragon god has begun. Soon after arriving at Longshen Square, Nanyun pulled Lu Tong's sleeve, pointed to the center of the square, and shouted loudly to Lu Tong.
Following Nanyun's guidance, Lu Tong also looked under the green dragon statue in the center of Longquan Square.
I saw that at this time, on the ninth floor of the middle of the huge Longquan Square, there was a green dragon model of tens of meters, with teeth and claws, vivid, opposite this green dragon model is a rectangular offering table carved with beautiful patterns, and the offering table is supplied with five grains and three animals, incense and wine.
Just as everyone was talking, a white-haired old man walked out from the front of the crowd, and walked to the top of the nine-story platform without hurry, step by step, calm and relaxed, as if everyone below had nothing to do with it, his eyes always looked directly at the green dragon statue at the top, and he never left for a moment.
"Brother Lu, this mortal old man we all call him the old man of Longquan, it is rumored that he has lived for thousands of years, every Dragon God Festival is presided over by this person, and the big and small things between mortals in this city are also decided by this person, he is the mortal with the highest prestige in Longquan City, that is, those who are idle cultivators will give etiquette when they see this person, the most important thing is that it is said that this person's life is bizarre, no one knows, not only can freely enter and exit the Lock Dragon Valley, but also can meet the high-level of the Lock Dragon Valley. Seeing the appearance of the old man Longquan, Nanyun had already widened his eyes, and Nanshan, who was standing on the side, hurriedly explained to Lu Tong.
"Old man Longquan, has lived for thousands of years as a mortal, and is still a little involved in Suolong Valley?" After listening to Nanshan's introduction, questions emerged from the bottom of Lu Tong's heart one by one.
Just as Lu Tong was meditating, the old man of Longquan finally came to the Qinglong statue with firm steps, on the nine-story platform of Longquan Square, stared at the Qinglong statue for a while, and then slowly turned around, stretched out his hands and gestured slightly to the people in Longquan Square, and in an instant, the entire Longquan Square, whether it was a cultivator or a mortal, fell silent.
When everyone was silent, the old man of Longquan bowed down to the high platform, and said to everyone in the audience in a hearty and loud voice: "Old man Longquan, thanks to all the villagers, presided over the ceremony of worshipping the sky of the Dragon God Festival. ”
After a slight pause, the old man of Longquan turned around and looked up at the huge statue of the green dragon, put his hands flat, slowly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times in succession, and then shouted in a loud voice: "The god of the green dragon is above, the ignorant descendants of Longquan on behalf of the millions of people in this city wish the green dragon god good health, respectfully invite the green dragon god to enjoy the human sacrifice, pray for the green dragon god to protect my Longquan City for ten thousand years of eternal health, bless the people of Longquan to live and work in peace and contentment, and be safe from generation to generation." ”
After the old man of Longquan finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and bowed, and then a surprising and abnormal scene appeared, accompanied by a low dragon groan, the tall and abnormal green dragon sculpture trembled slightly a few times, seeing this scene, all the mortals present knelt on the ground in unison, even the cultivators were no exception.
Lu Tong was hesitating, Nanshan pulled his sleeve and said to him: "Lu Tong, the green dragon statue at this time is spiritual, we had better bow down for a while." ”
Listening to Nanshan's words, Lu Tong didn't want to stand out from the crowd, besides, there were too many secrets in this Longquan City, and it was better for him to follow the customs of the villagers as a small monk in the foundation building period, and glanced at the crowd around him who were on their knees and fell to the ground, and Lu Tong also knelt on the ground with the Nan brothers and sisters.
After the low sound of the dragon's groan, everything returned to silence, and the old man of Longquan bowed to the Qinglong sculpture three times again, then slowly stood up, turned to the crowd under the high platform and said loudly: "The Qinglong God has appeared, and he will surely protect my Longquan City for ten thousand years, and all living beings will be safe and happy." ”
After saying this, the old man of Longquan raised his hands again, looked around at the crowd who were standing up, dragged a long voice, and shouted loudly: "February 2nd, Qinglongsheng, February 2nd, Dragon God Festival, February 2nd, Wanmin Music." ”
With the words of the old man of Longquan 'Wanmin Music', the green dragon model dozens of meters long on the high platform suddenly slowly squirmed, seeing this scene, Lu Tong was also surprised, and then smiled slightly, only to see that many human bodies suddenly appeared under the dragon body of the green dragon model, carrying this green dragon model around the high platform slowly surrounded, after a few weeks, the green dragon model carried by mortals slowly walked down the nine-story high platform and began to march along the main street.
With the parade of the green dragon model, most of the mortals in Longquan Square gathered around the green dragon and laughed, shouted loudly, and touched the green dragon model from time to time to show their luck.
"Brother Lu, the dragon god parade of mortals has begun, and the exchange between monks will soon begin here, I wonder if you would like to take a look?" Seeing the green dragon model slowly marching, Nanshan said to Lu Tong with a smile.
"Okay, let's just take a look, maybe there will be any huge gains?" his eyes were firmly fixed on the departing figure of the old man Longquan, and Lu Tong responded casually.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, thousands of monks gathered in the huge Longquan Square, some of whom placed their treasures in one place, waiting for buyers, and some of whom asked when they saw people, do you need any treasures? Suddenly, the entire Longquan Square was like a huge mortal bazaar, and the trading between monks began.
"Brother Lu, our brother and sister still have some things to exchange, you can go shopping casually, and then we will meet in the northwest corner of the square, what do you think?" Seeing that the monks were gathering more and more, Nanshan asked Lu Tong.
"That's very good, it just so happens that Lu also has something to look for, but you don't have to worry about Lu, after the event, I will go back directly to the 'gathering point'." Originally, he wanted to go around by himself, but Nanshan first proposed this idea, and of course Lu Tong happily agreed.
Hearing that Lu Tong also meant this, Nanshan hugged Lu Tong's fist, and then led Nanyun to a place where monks were concentrated, and when he left, Nanyun couldn't forget to smile and waved at Lu Tong, and Lu Tong also responded with a bright smile.
After the Nan brothers and sisters left, Lu Tong did not rush to find what he needed, but stood quietly in place and watched for a while, and it didn't take long for him to find that the gathering area of these monks participating in the transaction was also regular, the monks in the Qi training period were the most, occupying almost half of Longquan Square, and the foundation building monks were relatively few, but there were also four or five hundred, gathered in a corner of Longquan Square, exchanging something with each other.
In addition to the monks of these two classes, among the high-level monks, there are also a lot of monks in the Yudan period, two or three hundred monks also gathered in a corner to carry out their own exchanges, as for the monks of the Yuan Infant Period, perhaps they think that there is no need to participate in such an exchange meeting, or maybe they have just participated in the five-layer grand event of the Longquan Auction House, and the participation is extremely rare, and only a few wander in the area where the monks of the Yudan period live.
The three large exchange areas are each in one piece, and their respective exchanges are being carried out lively, except for the occasional exchange of monks from other classes with the area where the monks of another class live.
After seeing all this, Lu Tong walked towards the area inhabited by monks in the foundation building period and began to wander.
Maybe his demand was too high, or maybe his treasures were unusually rich, and after wandering for a long time, Lu Tong didn't find a single material for refining the Seven Treasures Dingtianding, so in desperation, he could only walk towards the area where the monks of the Yudan period lived.
After coming to the area inhabited by the monks of Jiedan, Lu Tong slowly checked, although the treasures here were much higher in level than the area inhabited by monks in the foundation building period, but he still did not find a treasure that satisfied him, just as he was about to return to the 'gathering point', a figure in front of a stall not far away caught his attention, making his eyes suddenly straighten......
